Hazard remains a false-nine as Aubameyang and Lacazette start together

Eden Hazard (£11.1m) continues to operate in the false-nine position for Chelsea as they prepare to face Arsenal this evening.

With the Blues thought to be close to signing a new centre-forward, this could be his last Premier League appearance in the role for some time.

He is flanked by Pedro (£6.3m) and Willian (£7.2m), supported by the usual midfield trio of N’Golo Kanté (£5.0m), Matteo Kovacic (£5.7m) and Jorginho (£4.7m).

Meanwhile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.3m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) start up front for Arsenal while Aaron Ramsey (£7.2m) supports them from midfield, in spite of recent rumours of his impending departure.

Lucas Torreira (£4.9m) returns to central midfield as Hector Bellerin (£5.4m) makes his first start since Gameweek 17.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Alonso, Rudiger, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Pedro, Hazard.

          Still needs balance, i.e. a minimum number of home qualified (not 'homegrown') players, plus the best players from around the world. We have a lot of mediocre overseas players just taking the PL money.

            A fair view I suppose. Personally I wouldn't care if international football was scrapped. It does nothing for me. That's just how I see it though.
